Today's Stripers
 

Found the macs, found the stripers. Biggest of the day was a C&R since we had our limit already of 6. O.D.Mike and I did well, smallest in the picture is 30 and largest 40".

Nice pair,not you the feeesh!

Phil,
Thanks again for the trip!!! I still think the stripers were hot because of Adam's chuming technique...... Great day and great team work!

Mike

looks like fun phil.

Nice job gents.

For those that want to witness some of the action. Missed the hookup but it happened when the mac was moved/stopped. Final length was 43".

nice 43"er~~~

yet,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

if you knew you were gonna release her,
why didjya allow a hand to be shoved into her gillplate AND
let her hang by the whole of her body weight for the glory/money shot???
:wall: :wall: :huh: :wall: :wall:

Give it a rest dog.That is not going to harm the fish one bit.

Don't know what SD and Dawg and bickering about but I would not lift a fish I was going to release by the gill plates....they do use these to breath....just my .02 cents.

Nice fish guys!

Phil.....work on the video skilzzz!!! LOL!:rotf2:

while i value and respect your opinion, CD,

it's just not what i would do to a fish that i had brought to the surface by boat, knowing that i am going to release it. how deep where they, there are other ways to hoist a fish, and to allow them to hang like that puts an unnecessary stress and strain on the fish's organs,,,,,,no matter how long it happened for, they are not created to be held THAT way,,,,,,

For some it's more important to get a good pic than to release and handle a fish properly. No harm in trying to educate people on how to properly release a fish. Some people just are unaware, some people don't give a ****.

If they still feel the need to mishandle bass after being given the proper info, then there's not much you can do. :smash: It's all about respecting the resource.
